On November 27, 1095, Pope Urban II makes perhaps the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, giving rise to the Crusades by calling all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land, with a cry of “Deus vult!” or “God wills it!”

Answer:

The Pope of the time was Pope Urban II. He gave a speech ensuring that those that fought in the Holy War would be resolved of all sins and would go to heaven despite what they do on the battlefield. He explained that they were acting based on the will of god and said that the the Persians have attacked the holy land.
